    Fight 9 is a stomp, lol.

    Storm has no business here.
    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    1) Vs. Apollo and Midnighter (Wildstorm)--Apollo is pretty weak sauce as far as Supermen go, I think the couple loses.
    2) Vs all Superpowered Individuals from The Boys TV show-- From what I hear, Omniman sweeps.
    3) Vs. Superman (Man of Steel)-- Supes might lose if you limit this to JUST MoS, but will probably crush with later movie feats.
    4) Vs. Immortal Hulk (Comics) and Juggernaut (Breaker of Stone)-- The former can be space tossed. I don't think the latter can be and therefore wins.
    5) Vs. Kenshiro (FoTNS)-- Kenshiro, from what I hear.
    6) Vs. Karas (Karas anime)-- Dunno.
    7) Vs Thanos with inifinity gauntlet and gems (MCU) Thanos gets blitzed.
    8) Vs Goku (As of the original Dragonball only) Duuno
    9) Vs Storm (comics) Blitzed.
    10)Vs Smallville Clark This time Nolan gets blitzed
    11)Captain Mar-Vell (Marvel comics) Duuno

    1) Vs. Apollo and Midnighter (Wildstorm) - So we have two weak-sauce Supermen, basically. Midnighter wonders why he is here. I've read Invincible far more recently, so it could be recency bias, but I'd lean towards him against Apollo.

    2) Vs all Superpowered Individuals from The Boys TV show - Easy sweep for Nolan. He might be fast enough to blitz even A-train, he's certainly fast enough to blitz everyone else, and he's one-shotting all of them (at least, by feats we have).

    3) Vs. Superman (Man of Steel) - Just MoS? No magic sun re-heals or ghost dad pep talks? Yeah, Nolan blitzes and can definitely hurt Clark.

    4) Vs. Immortal Hulk (Comics) and Juggernaut (Breaker of Stone) - Hulk is floating in space before he knows what's going on. Juggy just keeps on coming back. Nolan can get tired eventually, Juggy can't, and Juggy definitely hits hard enough to crush some Vitrulmite skull. Could be a ridiculously long fight, but Juggy eventually wins.

    5) Vs. Kenshiro (FoTNS) - Ken's way too fast and has too many ways to bypass durability and soak. Nolan dies.

    6) Vs. Karas (Karas anime) - No clue

    7) Vs Thanos with inifinity gauntlet and gems (MCU) - Nolan blitzes for the win, I would say. If Thanos gets any chance at all to act, he clearly ends Nolan casually, but he shouldn't.

    8) Vs Goku (As of the original Dragonball only) - Even end-of-DB Goku isn't beating Nolan. Nolan should still be somewhat faster, and hits hard enough to destroy. He's also got a huge mobility edge, and better soak.

    9) Vs Storm (comics) - HAHAHAHAHAHAHA she has no business being anywhere near Nolan. She's a very dead mutant.

    10)Vs Smallville Clark - HAHAHAHAHA in the other direction. Yes, Smallville Clark casually blitzes. But even if he didn't, Nolan can't hurt him at all - Clark could full-on "meditating Jiren" the guy until he breaks his fists. Clark casually moves a planet, vaporizes an entire river instantly with HV, moves and reacts lightspeed-ish.

    11)Captain Mar-Vell (Marvel comics) - Hmmmmmm - some versions of Mar-Vell are cosmic threats. Some are... just a guy. Most don't have speed and don't have the ability to take blitzes from class 90 or diet-coke class 100s. Win for Nolan.

    Big, how are you landing on Nolan being faster than end of DB Goku but "way" slower than Kenshiro?

    Ken's speed algorithm pitches him somewhere in the significant multi-mach, End of DB Goku is at that kind of level if not beyond.

    You're either overestimating Ken or underestimating Goku. Either way, I don't think TV show Nolan has the combat speed feats to keep up with them.

    I will accept being wrong and underestimating Goku then. I'm quite current on Z and S Goku, but it's been a long time since I read the early stuff. For some reason, I had pre-Z Goku in my head as a solid bit slower than Ken - which, now that you make me, you know, think about it, yeah, by the end of DB, he's a lot (read: blitz-level) faster than some people who were already multi-mach speedsters.

    I guess the issue is that I have a hard time placing Nolan's combat speed. He's a lot faster than a human, and has some level of super speed (even if a huge amount of Vitrulmite speed feats are travel speed or bull rushes, and they get PIS'd all the time), but where to place him?

    He's faster than Mark by some degree.

    Mark, very early in his development, was capable of setting up his room completely in like three panels, while on a phone call, while also carrying all of the stuff from his house to the dorm without William knowing he was doing it. Mark is a lot faster than that 120ish issues later, or somewhat faster a few episodes later, show wise.

    If we add comic stuff, Mark, after much development since the dorm scene, and Nolan (who is still faster than Mark) are also massively faster than Bulletproof, who does the Flash-standard "spotlessly clean an entire room in a single WOOOOOSH when a person in the room perceives nothing except wind" move when he comes home to a freaking-out girlfriend as his horrible parents are showing up for dinner. And again, Bulletproof's speed is a funny, quaint joke next to Mark and Nolan's.

    Nolan also reacts enough to Red Rush to grab him mid-blitz and kill him. We don't have great feats for RR, which confuses where we put Nolan (for me).

    So this places Nolan, even TV Nolan, at some level of multi-mach speed. How high? That's trickier.

    What's your opinion on it? Where would you relatively place Ken, end of DB Goku and Nolan, relatively? Goku =ish Ken then Nolan? I would say that any of them can kill the others, so it's all down to speed.

    See, with comic stuff I would be a lot more positive about Nolan being in a similar multimach speed bracket. There's just a lot more feats to work with to support a clearer picture of Viltrumite speed generally, sadly that's not what we're working with here.

    At time of writing, TV Nolan doesn't have that much to be honest. He reacts to Red Rush and snatches his fist when he hits him but otherwise seems to have a bit of difficulty dealing with his speed. Red Rush is also capable of punching him dozens (if not hundreds of times) in the time it takes Nolan to close his hands to crush his skull. Now, there's all kinds of screwy stuff in that scene that is moving that really shouldn't be (blood falling through the air etc.) but it implies to me that the difference between them is quite significant and to Rush's advantage.

    Interestingly, Immortal, who is clocked at mach three later on, is shown moving to try and save Rush and he isn't able to cover any meaningful distance to do so in the time it takes Rush to throw dozens of punches. So, some level of decent multimach there, assuming he was rushing at his top speed to save his comrade. Again, conjecture-y logic there.

    Otherwise, as noted, Immortal is clocked at mach three in flight speed but we never really see Nolan meaningfully contest him in terms of speed. Debbie correctly calculates that sending Nolan to three countries to buy dinner would buy her about 20 minutes of alone time, assuming five minutes per purchase that means five minutes for the trip which is, again, high multimach but it's just flight speed rather than combat stuff.

    When you compare him to Goku and Kenshiro, both of whom have extensive catalogues of doing highly complicated things in very short spaces of time, his feats just aren't as clean.

    I'll also admit to not having nearly as intimate a knowledge of Goku's speed breakdown in DB as I do Kenshiro's stuff. I would... pitch Kenshiro at somewhere like Early Z level... maybe?

    However, the key thing is that neither Ken nor Goku have a feat, off the top of my head, that quite stands up to "change costume, leave picnic, run undisclosed distance into town, stop bank robbery/defeat Kursk, run back to picnic, THEN girlfriend notices that you've moved at all," Like that's an awful lot of stuff to do in effectively 0.2 seconds. I would buy either of them being... in theory, maybe capable of it, but it would be an extremely peak feat for either of them have stuff quite on that scale.

    So... for my money, it would be like:

    Red Rush >> Goku & Ken >> Nolan.

    Like, Nolan could likely snatch them as he did Rush, but given that both of them much more skilled in combat than Red Rush and much closer to Omniman's strength bracket than Rush was, that wouldn't necessarily be a fight ender. TV Nolan is highly likely in the multimach end of the pool based on his handling of Red Rush and other sundry feats and general presentation but I don't think he's in the depths that Goku and Ken hang out in.

    Does that make sense? It's always a little tricky working stuff out for these characters with fewer feats to work with.

    Also, Karas can definitely blitz him but he might have a tough time getting through his durability.

    Not that Nolan has a hope of catching him, Karas is like Smallville Clark quick.
